CJacobs posted:Somebody who does 3D modeling give me some work flow tips. I am so miserable What are you modeling in? Are you starting from primitives? To say that I "do 3d modelling" is a bit of a stretch, but I took a class last semester where I had to do a lot of modelling and some animation, so I feel partially qualified to talk about it. My professor was really good. We worked in Maya, and we started everything from a cube. making a person? start with a cube. Making a dog? Start with a cube. making a jetplane? start with a cube. Making a person's hand? start with a cube. It actually worked amazingly well.

I remember the first game I heard it attached to was Secret of Mana, I think, but I didn't pay much attention to PC games until a while after that. Snak posted:As "one of those purists" essentially, I'm happy to share the term. I don't mind things that have been traditional called RPG in the video game world being called RPGs. They earned it through time and tradition. That's how language evolves. All I ask is that it's an expansion of what is considered an RPG and that I can continue to refer to "games featuring role-playing" as RPGs. Which is what the guy on reddit was arguing against. That Witcher shouldn't be called an RPG "because it doesn't have enough stats". Yikes, clearly I missed the start of the conversation. "The Witcher isn't an RPG because it doesn't have enough stats" is one of the more baffling arguments I've read today

Yes, Maya's interface is basically a nightmare. It's very powerful, and very customization. It's easy to gently caress up your customization and then you have an interface that doesn't look like anyone else. They also recently just changed a bunch of the menus, so tutorials and stuff that are more than a year old will tell you things are under a different menu than they actually are. Basic/crashcourse stuff. You're probably working with polygons. There are two types of objects you can make in Maya: polygonal objects, made of verts, edges, and faces, and NURBs objects, where are like, mathematically defined surfaces. You basically don't need to worry about NURBs poo poo at all, but I'm bringing it up because half of the tools in maya are for working with surfaces (meaning NURBs surfaces). These tools don't work and can't be used with polygons. So when you're looking for a tool, and you think you find it but it doesn't work or won't let you use it, there's a pretty good chance that's why. For general maya poo poo, I recommend the official documentation, here is a link to an overview of the interface. From there you should be able to click around and find some getting started tutorials. My professor taught from this documentation in class. Like, this was his textbook. He gave us real assignments and showed us a bunch of hands-on stuff too, but this is a really good resource. Extrude is the most powerful tool. I'm not sure what kind of stuff you're doing to make your gun, but one of the most important tricks my professor taught us was this: when you want to add detail to a region, extrude in. Not into the surface of the object, but on the quad itself. This gives you more faces in that area, while not adding more edges anywhere else in the model. Making edge loop slices through your whole model can be useful, but you don't want to do it to add localized detail. I hope some of this is helpful  edit: oh right, for the actual workflow advice: the other most important thing my professor taught us was that understanding what you're trying to make and how you're trying to make it is the hard part. Until you are doing fine detail work, roughing out a model should be quick once you know what you're doing. So if you aren't happy with how it's going, deleting it and starting over is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Roughing out a shape with extrusion, and then adding detail with addition edge cuts and extrusions goes very quickly once you get the hang of it.

I loved Destiny. The aesthetic was up my alley and the actual shooting part of the game is top-notch. The controls are smooth and tight, and it just feels fun to play. Plus the dungeons were pretty cool and only got better as time went on. Collecting loot is always fun, so that added to the experience. The only letdown was the story, in that it didn't exist for the most part. I read lots of the trading card things and that was cool, but they should've had a stronger narrative in the actual game, not in some companion app.

Help Im Alive posted:Is Destiny good It's one of those games that starts out clumsily but if it gets its hooks in you'll never put it down. They keep denying it's an MMO but it's very much like them in that respect. As an RPG it's kinda crap, there is effectively no campaign structure (just a series of missions you play in order and loot collection processes that unfold over days or weeks) and skimpy customization/character building. Some of this is due to the weird hybrid of RPG, competitive FPS, and ritualized MMO repetition and some of it is just bad execution. The expansions greatly improve on this if you decide to stay in for the long haul. The main thing it has going for it is that the raw shooting is the best console FPS experience around, period. It's the latest evolution of control scheme, feel, and rhythm that Bungie has been working on for 15 years and everything about aiming, shooting, moving, etc is more or less perfect.

Also I really really hate that everything uses a different mouse button and no two tools use the same mouse buttons for the same functionality There are some things that seem obtuse at first and eventually make sense, and some things that just don't make sense. One of the few toolbars/windows you want to pay attention to is called the "construction history". It's where you can go to gently caress with poo poo retroactively. It's really powerful. Also remember that (almost) everything you can gently caress with by dragging the mouse has an equivalent entry field somewhere, so if you want to be precise, hunt down that field and type in the exact value you want. And again, with construction history, you can often go back and fix things after the fact, depending on what you did after it. poo poo gets really weird if you've done extrusions from something and then try to go back and change the number of starting faces, lol. But it's still a powerful tool.

Each 3D program differs enough to have its own workflow and then you'll have different workflows for different types of objects and even different workflows for different types of uses of the object. For example as part of my job I create 3D architectural models and there's a different workflow I have when I model things for visualization purposes and a different workflow when I actually design a building. I could not tell you what workflow is good for working on 3D assets for games or 3D models for film or 3D models for still images because all of them differ so much from one another and from what I do.

Help Im Alive posted:Is Destiny good The setting is interesting and the shooting feels very good. I also think they did a pretty good job keeping loot interesting because guns tend to feel unique and exotic equipment usually has something cool and unique it lets you do. It's nice when loot isn't just about numbers... ...until it is. Once you're max level I think Destiny really burns out unless you loving love watching a number go up. Your item level (called Light) is everything once you're at max level, and the number of dungeons and activities you can do to get gear to increase it is really limited, and they're not good about adding more. The raids they've made are well-designed, but like any MMO, it ultimately just becomes about repeating the same thing until the developer releases a new thing. Bungie has put out expansions with new content rather than having too many free content updates, which is fair if you're not charging a subscription fee, but with one exception I think they've all been really anemic. The open explorable areas are also really small and there aren't many of them. I'd like Destiny 2 to be good but Bungie has been nothing but rewarded for the way they ran Destiny so I kinda doubt it'll be much more than more of the same but with better graphics.

Oh and also there are the raids, which require a big upfront commitment of not only building a character but also marshaling 6 friends or internet randos - no matchmaking - but once you get in them are sort of collective real-time puzzle solving and choreography challenges which no other FPS has anything remotely approaching and make all the rest of the game worthwhile (subjectively, for a lot of people).
